Parking? Security? Fan support? Stop it.
News reporters have been reporting some concerns over the highly
anticipated opening of Paetec Park, the home of the Rochester Rhinos
A-Leage soccer team and Major League Lacrosse team the Rochester
Rattlers. Although also showing optimism most of these concerns are
unwarrented. Less than a half mile of very clean well kept streets,
sidewalks and parks separate Paetec Park with Frontier Field. In most
cases, parking at Frontier field or wherever folks usually park in the
High Falls area will work for attending events at Paetec Park. Saturday
will be pack no doubt - as both the Rhinos and the Redwings have games.
Additional parking is on the way. Security? Everyone in the city of
Rochester and anyone associated with the Rhinos understand that if any
security breach or incident would damage all entities so severely that
on Saturday night, high falls might be the most secure safe places to be
in the entire state. No need to worry.
Fan Support? The paper reported on the 7 or 9 "pro" sports in
Rochester competing for the communities dollar. Soccer and the new
stadium will win out. If there isn't enough fan support for all team,
the Rhinos need not worry.
All in all, this is a historic event for rochester. Nearly 30,000
expected to be in the high falls area. This is only something to cheer
about and enjoy the game if you are one of the lucky ones with a ticket.
